Eclipse Crown Welcome Bonus Explained for Beginners

The Eclipse Crown welcome bonus starts with First Light: deposit €20 or more with code FIRST100 and you get 100% of your deposit as a bonus, up to €200, plus 100 free spins. It is the first of four steps worth up to €5,200 + 400 free spins in total; this page explains in plain words how it works, what wagering means and how to avoid losing it; terms apply, 18+.

The welcome bonus in one minute

Bonus words explained

• Match (100%): the bonus equals your deposit, up to the cap; a €50 deposit gives a €50 bonus.
• Wagering (x45): the total you must bet before bonus money can be withdrawn, counted on the bonus only.
• Bet ceiling: the highest single bet that counts while wagering.
• Win cap: the most a bonus can turn into.
• Validity: how many days you have to finish wagering.
• Non-sticky: your own money is played first, the bonus after it.

Claiming First Light step by step

Your first free spins

First Light's 100 free spins are played in two BGaming slots, Burning Chilli X and Elvis Frog in Vegas. You get 50 on the day of your deposit and 25 on each of the next two days, so come back on days two and three. Open one of the slots and activate the spins before playing. Whatever the spins win becomes bonus money that needs x35 wagering, up to a maximum of €200.

Wagering with a simple example

You deposit €20 with FIRST100. You now have €20 of your own money and €20 of bonus. Your own €20 is played first. The bonus needs x45 wagering: 45 × €20 = €900 in bets. When you have placed €900 in counting bets within 7 days, the bonus, up to twice its value (€40 here), becomes ordinary money you can withdraw. If 7 days pass first, the bonus and what it won are removed. This is arithmetic from the terms, not a promise of any result.

Three limits to remember

1. Bet size: on First Light, only bets from €0.20 to €1 count, and bigger bets break the terms, including doubling and bought bonus rounds.
2. Time: 7 days from crediting for the bonus and the spins.
3. Cap: the bonus can become at most twice its amount; spin winnings at most €200.

The next three steps

Your second, third and fourth deposits can continue the package with 2PHASE, SHADOW and DROP150. Each one gives a bigger match, 120%, 130% and 150%, with lower wagering: x40, x35 and x30. All three need at least €20 and add 100 free spins in BGaming slots named by each step. Only one bonus can be active at a time, so finish or end one before claiming the next.

For a larger first deposit

If your first deposit is €200 or more, The Crown Path with code CROWN150 gives 150% up to €5,000 + 150 free spins instead of First Light, with x35 wagering and bets up to €3. Beginners usually start with First Light and a smaller amount.

Later offers

After your first deposit, you can also take Dark Hours Spins on Wednesdays (50 free spins for €20 with DARKHOURS) and Eclipse Weekend from Friday to Sunday (50% up to €1,000 plus free spins with WEEKEND). All codes are on our promo code page.

Crown Rewards for beginners

Every registered player is in Crown Rewards, our loyalty programme. Your first €20 deposit puts you in Penumbra, the first of five phases; from there, every new level brings 20 free spins and you get 5% daily cashback on qualifying real-money losses. Higher phases follow as your total deposits grow.

How beginners lose a bonus

• Forgetting the deadline: check Promo > My Bonuses each day.
• One big bet: anything above €1 on First Light breaks the rules.
• Missing the second and third batch of spins: log in on days two and three.
• Opening a second account: offers are one per person and household.

Do you need a bonus at all?

No. You can deposit without a code and play without any wagering. A bonus adds playing time, not income, and you can cancel it at any time, losing the bonus and its winnings. Limits for adults aged 18 and over are on our responsible gambling page; withdrawals are explained on our minimum deposit page.
